The Politics of Philo Judaeus: Practice and Theory, with a General Bibliography of Philo

vi PORTRAITS OF PHILO

The plate facing page 178 shows Philo wearing the dress and typical

hat of a medieval Jew. In the plate facing page 314, he is in the bloom

of the Renaissance (the Nuremberg Chronicle, 1492). It is interesting

that a century later Rembrandt was so impressed with Philo's personal­

ity that he painted "My Father as Philo the Jew," now at the Ferdinan-

deum, Innsbruck; see Wilhelm Bode, The Complete Wor\ of Rem­

brandt, Paris, 1897, I> 74> PL^20 -
